Netflix Email Scams Keep Coming

Thousands of Netflix subscribers were targeted by a scam in which cleverly constructed fake emails informed customers that their accounts were about to be cancelled and requested that they update their information to avoid further suspension.

A link contained within the email then directed subscribers to a fake but convincingly designed Netflix page where they were required to enter their log-in information as well as credit card number, resulting in stolen personal and credit card information, Deadline reported.

Once the customer has logged their personal information into the fake website, a reassuring 'reactivation' screen pops up.

This isn’t the first time Netflix subscribers have been targeted by such a scam.

Fortune magazine reported a similar fake email was sent out earlier this year to customers, informing them that their billing information was out of date, directing them to update their information by clicking on a link.

A Netflix spokesperson said, per Fortune, that the company took security of its members’ accounts seriously.
